It doesn’t matter what time of year you are visiting Tasmania; a trip to Australia’s natural island state is not complete without experiencing multi-award winning Pennicott Wilderness Adventures.

Onboard Bruny Island Cruises or Tasman Island Cruises, you can experience magnificent rock formations, intriguing caves and sea cliffs among the highest in the world. The sensitive coastlines are home to hundreds of seals, pods of dolphins, migrating whales, birds of prey and seabirds such as the albatross and shearwater. If you’re lucky you might experience a rare encounter with Killer Whales and Great White Sharks.

Tasmania’s leading ecotourism operator is a must on your motorhome itinerary. Enjoy a full day tour from the scenic capital of Hobart including a bus tour, 3 hour Wilderness Cruise and morning tea and lunch. Depending on which tour you opt for, there is also the option of starting the wilderness cruise from Kettering or the tour operation desks at Adventure Bay in Bruny Island or Port Arthur on the Tasman Peninsula. Navigate the waters of Tasmania in one of the iconic yellow boats (4WDs of the sea) with a convenient on-board toilet, an overhead canopy and tiered, forward facing, open-air seating to ensure you experience breathtaking 360 degree views of the raw and rugged Tasmanian landscape.

This eco-friendly business was founded by Robert Pennicott in 1999 and has blossomed to be one of the state’s top tourist attractions. Pennicott’s sustainable approach to tourism has won the company a host of awards including the prestigious Australian Award for Excellence in Sustainable Tourism 2012. Pennicott Wilderness Adventures has donated thousands of dollars to coastal conservation projects undertaken by the Tasmanian Parks and Wildlife Service and has well and truly earned its name as one of the prime sustainable tourism companies in Australia.
